Was so excited to see a new Big City! I have all of them so I bought it without even trying the demo! This trip is to Istanbul. Scenes are good, exactly what we expect from Jolly Bear.

Was so excited to see a new Big City! I have all of them so I bought it without even trying the demo! This trip is to Istanbul. Scenes are good, exactly what we expect from Jolly Bear. Music is themed to location and upbeat. Mini games are the same ones which I really like - except for jigsaw puzzle - I use skips on those. Only changes I see are your player name is no longer the signature on the postcard (which I thought was kind of cool), you no longer pick which family character you want to be and the "blue" scenes are a lot smaller, which I don't like. Otherwise, another great Big City Adventure and I'm already looking forward to the next one!! Show less

I recommend this game!

Join this ever vacationing family in their adventure to Istanbul where you will visit landmarks such as the Yedikule Fortress, Basilica Cistern, Bosphorus, a Bath House and even the Istanbul Military Museum. You begin your adventure with a postcard that tells you facts about your destination and then visit that location in the form of a seek and find game. Each scene has one of sixty hidden camels to collect as well as hidden coins which will give you extra hints, extra time, extra points, a fast forward hint and even a skip coin to allow you to skip a mini game. Each scene has a zoomed in area with two additional items listed in blue, one of which is in riddle form such as a wrench is a plumbers helper. There is a mini game after each seek and find such as placing several gears so they will allow all the gears to move freely, jigsaw puzzles, creating a complete path from left to right by flipping path section tiles to the correct position and even a matching tile game where you must click two or more tiles of the same kind until all wooden cells have been matched upon. The score is tallied up with the points you earned for item finds, quick finds, time bonus, unused coins and the time remaining. If you don't like the pressure of the timer you can choose a relaxing mode with no timer, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

I started with San Francisco and played these Big City games so often, until I got caught up in the adventure/hidden object games. The straight HOs just became too hum-drum, I needed more excitement.

I started with San Francisco and played these Big City games so often, until I got caught up in the adventure/hidden object games. The straight HOs just became too hum-drum, I needed more excitement. Now here I am seeking a break from that, too! I played the demo to see if this Adventure offered anything different, as I didn't care too much for a couple of the locations. Istanbul is excellent as far as challenge and the mini-games are quite different from the others and easy. You can choose timed or relaxed mode. Each of the 60 levels has a hidden object scene and a mini game or jigsaw, 1 hidden camel to collect and hidden coins to help your score and your available hints. It is fun and the HOs are pretty darn challenging, you also get to learn some interesting facts about Istanbul along the way. A great addition to the collection. Show less

Big City Adventure is always an instant buy for me. Old school HOG with assorted minigames that are easy and fun instead of making me want to pull my hair out.
And I love the storylines: "We're on vacation! Let's go look at stuff and learn interesting trivia! The end."
Ok, this is more of a review of the series. Just buy them all! I did! :D

I recommend this game!

If you love All of the Big City Adventure games You will enjoy this one as well. You have to find a camel in every scene. Some of the hog's are difficult to see but overall a great game. If it was to easy we wouldn't like it as well Good Job Big Fish, I will be adding this game to my Big City Adventure Series.

I recommend this game!

OK, so this is just another Big City Adventure, but they are all so much fun to play. This one has some differences. You collect a camel in each scene. I've only played 20 minutes of the game so only a couple of mini-games, but the first one was different then that in other BCA games. As usual, you collect coins throughout the game. The graphics in this one is some of the best of their games. ...Show more

OK, so this is just another Big City Adventure, but they are all so much fun to play. This one has some differences. You collect a camel in each scene. I've only played 20 minutes of the game so only a couple of mini-games, but the first one was different then that in other BCA games. As usual, you collect coins throughout the game. The graphics in this one is some of the best of their games. Finding objects will be somewhat of a challenge, which makes this one of the best in this series.

When you just want to play a hidden object game without all the "drama" this series is the way to go.

Not much of a storyline, but who cares. lots of hidden object scenes which is what you expect from this series.

I've been waiting for the developers next game in the series so I'm off to purchase.

Enjoy! Show less
